China Daily | Updated: 2008-11-19 07:44

A group of about 1,000 people attacked the Longnan government office, Gansu province, on Monday night, smashing cars, and clashing with police and officials in a riot sparked by a property dispute, it said yesterday.

More than 30 people seeking redress for the loss of their homes and land were joined by hundreds of others outside a petitions office in Longnan, the city government said in a statement on its website.

The petitioners "were provoked by a small minority of people with ulterior motives. (Office) staff and police were beaten, and more than 60 were injured," the notice said.
